A Yeti Tunic, also known as Frost Tunic or White Tunic, appears as a white tunic sized appropriately for its intended wearer. Whoever wears it will be mostly protected from freezing, and cold in general. Specifically, any part of the body shielded by the Yeti Tunic will not freeze, nor will the Yeti Tunic itself. The cold of the user's surroundings will be greatly reduced as well. A skilled Tailor can create a Yeti Tunic from a single supply of White Hide.
The wearer of a Yeti Tunic will negate any weakness to cold he or she would otherwise have, making it particularly useful for Subrosians. A Yeti Tunic can be removed from its wearer, to instead wrap an object, thus keeping the object from suffering excessive cold or freezing.
Specific Quantification
For most wearers, knowing the Yeti Tunic protects from cold is sufficient, but occasionally the exact extent by which it protects may become necessary information. To quantify this tunic's protection, it will effectively increasin any temperature below room temperature by approximately 90%. Since room temperature is about 70°F, the wearer can treat -200°F as if it was 43°F. (The actual temperature of -200°F is subtracted from room temperature of approximately 70°F, leaving a difference of 270°F. From there, 90% of 270°F is 27°F. Then, 27°F is subtracted from 70°F to determine the approximate temperature felt by the wearer, which in this case is 43°F. Using 90% decrease functions for both Fahrenheit and Celsius measurements of temperature.) The exact degree an individual can endure in a Yeti Tunic thus varies on his or her personal endurance, but can be useful for any wearer who isn't completely impervious to cold.
Trivia
- Similar tunics can protect from dangers, like the Goron Tunic protects from heat. Specifically, the Goron Tunic protects from heat, the Zora Tunic protects from drowning, the Golden Tunic protects from Light damage, and the Black Tunic protects from Shadow damage.
- The Yeti Tunic treasure is an original creation by one of Hyrule Castle's members. Its concept is credited to Guy. It first appeared on Hylian Shield, the predecessor to Hyrule Castle, where it was a variant to Goron Tunic and Zora Tunic.
